It’s called CPA. Let him do the thinking. for the $$$. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Or one hoe.

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 22:04:42 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2196798#comment-2661542I’m assuming why the question of ‘why you need such a big house’ applies to all. These millionaire athletes have every right to buy whatever size house they want regardless of how many in the family. It’s still relative to your income and other resources. Brady and his wife built a 22,000 square home for two people now three at over $20 million. You don’t question that because he has the money. Most players buy the mega mansions. Culpepper had the money for his 9600 sf home at the time. He like many got caught in the housing bubble and maybe he couldn’t get rid of it even as a small loss. His career going down hill did not help.

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 20:54:36 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2196798#comment-2661349its very possible that during the housing market boom – which was very much still active in 2006 – he thought the property was a good value.

then 2008 rolls around and credit default swaps and derivative markets come along and take a dump on the entire banking industry, tax payers foot the bill, and property owners lose a lot of wealth while the banks get flooded with cash to save them from insolvency.

unfortunately for culpepper, it’s likely he got duped with a bad mortgage, like most of the rest of us americans.

chalk it up to bad financial management if you want, but with the state of the world today, i don’t believe for a minute that just because they made a lot during their playing days that athletes are any more immune to situations like this than the rest of us.

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 20:48:05 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2196798#comment-2661333Every time there’s an article about some athlete being broke after receiving millions of $$$$ folks wonder how this can happen. They then tell the story of how they make/made a fraction of the millions, live well within their means, and don’t understand why it happens to the athletes.

It starts with a family that supervises their kids, oversees education, and gives them the right tools to succeed. If kids are raised without those things, is blessed with talent, and then gets tons of dough dumped into their laps at 2o something years old, it’s a recipe for overspending on “stuff” along with a posse that mooches off them until they lose everything.

The guy went to school in the suburbs to a decent, not amazing, school (like most people). Outside of the drama related to the Vikings boat drama, he hasn’t had any off-the-field problems. He purchased a house that was excessive, like many rich folks do (see Lebron James and 50 million dollar house). He got foreclosed like thousands of Americans who got screwed during the housing crisis. Lastly, he signed a +$100 million contract, and probably saw less than half of it due to injuries and poor play.

The fact that you chalk it up to simple “stupid” says more about you than him and thousands of other Americans who managed to contribute to the U.S. debt issues.

Seriously though, damn shame, hope he lands on his feet. I’m sure he can get some kind sportscastning job that pays well enough for a “standard rich guy” house, rather than a “multimillionaire athlete” house.

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 20:09:02 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2196798#comment-2661193Crazy how hard most of us have to prove to get a mortgage at a normal job when NFL players are one night out on the town or a slip in the shower away from going from millionaires to minimum wage earners. Culpepper rushed his injuries and is the case for all the RG3’s and Derick Roses in the world, get healthy because there is no third chances.

I thought he was a hell of a talent. But when he went up to the guy in , I think it was Carolina, and thanked him for blowing his knee out to get him out of Minnesota, I lost all respect for him. possibly the dumbest statement ever made by a human being.

In many cases it’s just cheaper and easier to just put the keys in the mail box and walk away from the property.

That’s true. And it’s too bad that things are set up that way. People can file bankruptcy too easily also. I’m not saying there aren’t some situations where it isn’t necessary (ie you lose your job and have a medical emergency, etc), I just think it isn’t necessary as much as it happens.

I read a financial article recently that said a large portion of people close to retirement have less than 25 k saved up for it. There is a problem in this country with responsibility, it isn’t an athlete only problem.

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 19:21:05 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2196798#comment-2661095no sympathy for any athlete who makes the kind of money they do and can’t pay their bills. spare the non guaranteed b.s. the signing bonus IS!they get the big bucks up front and it’s not the clubs fault if they do not perform well enough to earn the rest of it. trust me if somebody gave me 10 million dollars to start I would not blow it all with no promise of more on the way. sure you are going to blow some of it but not the entire amount or so much that I could not pay off my house. in fact buying and paying off my house would be the first thing I would do. no mattered what happens after I would have my dream home that nobody could take away.

I am retiring after some forty-four years as a public school teacher, never making more than $60,000. My small condo is free and clear, my Saturn is paid for, I have no credit card debt, a fine pension and medical benefits. I am SO amazed at how these pro football players, one after another, can’t put enough of their Monopoly-money salaries aside. It is a stunning demonstration of hubris and lack of discipline. It doesn’t speak well of them taking ownership of their educational processes either.

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 19:01:59 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2196798#comment-2661049I like how people are criticizing him who most likely have faced foreclosure as well. 2006 was when the housing bubble was at its peak and people were tricked enough to buy in so at the time it would look like a good investment.

Foreclosing is the best thing Culpepper could do, it actually saves him more money.

You don’t assume that the money will always be there, so you put funds aside for the future and live for the future. You’d like to see how I spend my money? Never made more than $78,000 any year, wife never made more than $63,000 in any year. We live in a year-old 4,500 sq.ft house on an acre and a half, all paid for, have a Kia Sedona (paid for), owe nothing on credit cards, have some money in savings. It’s called living within your means and putting needs ahead of wants. The man with the biggest, most expensive toys doesn’t always win.

Brees has done well with the tools they put in place around him in New Orleans. I don’t think the tools to succeed would have been there in Miami had Brees been the Dolphins’ guy. Brees is a great QB but a polished turd (Miami) is still only a turd.

Hey, one minute you are riding on top of the world with cheap out of state hookers and an adoring if somewhat ignorant fan base and the next thing you know, you are signing your palace over to the bank. That’s a hard fall.

I would love for you negative posters to be promise by your boss, company, whoever/whomever that you were going to make 30 million dollars over 5 years with a 10 million dollar signing bonus. with payments of 5 million for the next four years. I would love to see how you spend your money. people spend well above their means all the time regardless of what they make. so knock it off with the bullsh@t about innercity education and someone being a moron. because you morons would do the same thing if someone were to give you that kind of money.
